Chapter 218 - 110: He Actually Passed
Sang Pingliang was excited all night and didn’t sleep well, tossing and turning as he pondered what kind of concubine to buy. She must have a good figure, a pretty face, and the best skin, soft and smooth like a peeled egg. As for age, sixteen or seventeen would be ideal, but if she’s exceptionally beautiful, eighteen or nineteen could also work.
The most important thing is that she must be cheap—cheaper the better!
Thinking about it, Sang Pingliang couldn’t help but hesitate. The matchmakers in the middleman agency are shrewd as demons; they wouldn’t easily let go of a good girl without a good price. To get one who’s good in all aspects and young, it would cost at least twenty to thirty taels!
Twenty to thirty taels, not two or three taels! Sang Pingliang felt the pain just thinking about it.
He couldn’t help but sigh to himself, thinking it better to let it be. After all, it was for the sake of having a son, what difference does it make if it’s thirty taels or ten taels? Just pick one with a broad butt that can bear children easily!
But then, he thought of the loss! He was already getting old, if he didn’t enjoy life now, he wouldn’t have the chance later. Twenty to thirty taels would be worth spending!
Sang Pingliang made up his mind, determined to spend whatever it takes—though his limit was fifty taels—to bring back a satisfying concubine!
The next morning, Sang Pingliang got up early, ate breakfast, changed into a brand-new brownish-grey robe with dark floral designs, pocketed his silver banknotes, combed his hair smoothly, looking joyful as he stepped out the door.
Mrs. Li stood on the threshold watching him leave, spitting in disdain as she stared at his back, then turned around muttering curses under her breath, venting all her pent-up anger on Sang Rou, beckoning her over to scold her profusely.
